Immunization/Health Care

Minnesota law requires all University of Minnesota students to report certain immunizations. Failure to complete this before the 6th week of the semester may result in a registration hold on your account. Information about the immunizations required and how to report your immunizations is available from the Boynton Health website.

You are required to have health insurance.

All students who are 1) admitted to a degree program and 2) registered for six or more credits per semester that count toward the automatic assessment of the Student Services Fee are required by the University of Minnesota to have health insurance. Please visit https://boynton.umn.edu/immunization-requirement for more information. Eligible students who do not provide verifiable insurance information per established guidelines will be automatically enrolled in and billed for the University-sponsored Student Health Benefit Plan.

Attention International Students

The University of Minnesota requires all international students and their dependents to enroll in the University-sponsored Student Health Benefit Plan unless they are eligible for a waiver. To be eligible for a waiver as an International Student, you must be covered by a United States-based employer-sponsored group health plan or the University-sponsored Graduate Assistant Health Plan.
